Hello All, I started the Launch a couple months back on MSW. So I thought I would start one on MSB so you can see what I am up to. I started building the kit per the kit instructions. But last week I decided to bash the kit to follow more to Mckay' drawing in his book n going by the draught. So since I am getting to 150+ pic's I thought I would add every 5th pic to bring you all up to date. Please any questions and/or advice would be welcomed.

Sorry having trbl posting pictures. Can't post anymore. The moderator is looking into it. I have over 150+ photos on my progress. I started this build on MSW under build logs. But i will only post every 5th pic here to catch up to where I am at. If you need certain photos on the progress let me know and I will posts them for you, when the trbl is fixed.....

What I thought was a POB build has suddenly become a POF one!I built some ships boats using a solid hull as a former and was amazed at how strong they were, but that's much larger and looks a little delicate at this stage. Just how strong is it?You've managed to keep the inside nice and clean I see!

aew - that technique is common in full sized building also. I built a 13' Whitehall and when I took it off the molds (ie bulkheads) it was solid. I then placed steam bent frames and riveted them to the planking.

Hi AEW, It's 17in long. @3ft Launch. At this stage it was light as a feather. But felt like an egg shell. I still had to add the tween frames. The frames are 1/32 cherry. I used wood glue no CA. I was worried I might glue it to the jig. But with the pictured adding problem MSB has right now I can only add 1 pic on each reply.
